Pressure on ASIC to investigate Rugby Australia’s Melbourne Rebels dealings

[Alison]

I assume Alison has seen and dismantled the ARU sections of this response, but have you seen the MRRU half Ali?

Yes I have thanks GIGS. The unfortunate thing is that Cox turned it into a private company once he got hold of it, so no accounts have had to be filed publicly for the MRRU since 2015. Presumably ASIC and the ATO have them though.

[Alison]

No, I don’t think so. I’m assuming the doc GIGS is referring to is the one submitted by ASIC on 17 November.

Any good shit on there?
IT Nazis wont allow me to download it at work

[UAUdiver1959]

[I]Recommendation 4: The committee recommends that the Australian Securities and Investments Commission review the evidence received by the committee regarding transactions involving the Melbourne Rebels.

Recommendation 5: The committee recommends the Australian Securities and Investments Commission review the financial circumstances reported in the Australian Rugby Union's annual reports against the evidence presented to the committee.


The Australian Government notes this recommendation. The Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC) has advised it is reviewing the matters raised during the Senate inquiry.

The Government has been informed by ASIC that it will provide a response to the Senate Committee separately. Due to the volume of the material and the nature of the matters raised, ASIC has advised the Government it does not believe it will be able to provide that response for some time, but that it will progress matters should the evidence warrant it.

Great news

Great news

Nothing was said about the behaviour of certain witnesses at the Inquiry.

Didn't slip past Nick Taylor's notice either and there's a nice little comment from Linda Reynolds at the end to keep the pressure on.

The Australian Securities and Investment Commission is still reviewing Rugby Australia’s controversial dealings with the Melbourne Rebels ahead of axing Western Force from Super Rugby, the Federal Government has confirmed.
A senate inquiry into the future of the sport made a number of recommendations in a hard-hitting report into the deal.

The government has also missed the point with he IP recommendation,, the recommendation was that the IP be returned to RugbyWA, but it hasn't been returned, it's being loaned

I'm glad this hasnt been totally forgotten yet... nice to have an update. Nick Taylor as usual keeps his finger on the pulse, nice work Nick!


Hopefully ASIC are ruthless when they finally get down to the nitty gritty

Have passed that on to those who have been in contact with the committee. The deceit with that as it ties in with the Armageddon Agreement should be chucked in with the ASIC investigation.
